Summerlike heat is breaking records in the East. Here’s why

A Bermuda High parked over the western Atlantic is pulling sweltering air up from the South, challenging records in parts of the eastern U.S.

#Meteorology Fedi:

What's the correct place to get *bulk* #METAR/TAF data these days? I know about tgftp.nws.noaa.gov for individual reports, but I need to pull the whole set hourly for a project and doing it piecemeal like that seems really inefficient.

Used to be able to get it from aviationweather.gov but that's been gone for awhile now. Anyone have suggestions?

Edit: to be clear, I'm looking for worldwide data, not just US.

⛈️🎮 Geographer Stephanie Spera and meteorologist Chris Vagasky examine the atmospheric conditions required for #storms.

They compare the fictional #weather of The Legend of #Zelda's Faron to real phenomena like #Venezuela’s #Catatumbo #lightning. While #Earth constantly balances moisture and temperature, the #energy required for a never-ending #storm eventually runs out.

Never-ending storms make for good plot twists. Could they plague Earth?

While the thunderstorms in The Legend of Zelda defy physics, plenty of places on Earth experience extreme weather.
